Radiation detectionSmiths Detection Expands Radiation Offering
Partnership with Mirion enables Smiths Detection to offer customers a fuller range of radiation detection technologies
Smiths Detection the other day announced a partnership with Mirion Technologies which will allow it to offer a full radiation detection and identification product line to U.S. customers. The company says that its technology suite will now meet all the needs of multiple security markets, including: military/defense, homeland security, ports and borders, aviation, and emergency response.
Lance Roncalli, Smiths Detection’s VP of Sales-Americas, said: “This exciting partnership will ensure our customers can access the full range of radiation technologies available in the marketplace today. Such developments support all our customers as they develop a comprehensive and layered security approach to protect critical infrastructure and secure the free flow of trade.”
Smiths Detection, which already markets the RadSeeker, an advanced handheld radiation detector and identifier, will be able to offer a range of Mirion products including a low-cost dosimeter (DMC-3000), a pocket-sized detector (RDS-31), and a search and radionuclide identifier (PDS 100 G/GN ID).
RadSeeker is a next-generation radionuclide identifier with enhanced capability to distinguish radiological and nuclear threats and eliminate the background “false positives” produced by naturally occurring radiation or other legitimate everyday radiological materials.
